I wonder if they do it on phones as well. Not everyone has a 256GB+ device, and 4GB would be a significant chunk on even that.
On android phones I believe this is called Gemini Nano which is part of the Gemini app for Android and the android AIcore app. The AI core app supposedly eats up like 4-12GB of storage. I believe it’s a system app that you can’t uninstall.
Might be worth a look at your phone apps especially if you have a pixel phone.
What little I read about this it seems to only be on desktop. For now.
Some suit in the C Suite is having a wet dream though imagining the not so far off future where they can run shit like this on your phone.
